EAST INDIAN wheat is not high
grade wheat, but it makes wholesome
dark bread. 1t is true that it costs
10 cents per bushel to clean the In
dian wheat preparatory to running it
between millstones. The Indian
farmers do not as yet understand the
necessity of handling their harvested
grain with care. The grain, as If
leaves their hands is dirty and sandy,
and mixed with the seeds OF weeds
and other grain. But it is cheaply
grown. The cost OF transportation
over the railroads of India is greater
than over the, American lines, but
when the wheat which is destined for
the London market arrives at the In
dian shipping ports it meets the
cheapest transportation in the world
that afforded by the British tramp
steamer.

The statement relative to the $780,
600 railroad subsidy comes with a
directness and degree Of positive as
surance that makes it worth motto
ing. If the simple raising of a sub
sidy of $4,000 is all that stands
in the way Of q railroad coming
here, the money can be raised in g
week. Terminal grounds, sites and
locations for depot, round house
machine Eshops, etc, can readily be
secured, and nothing need stand in
the way of the work twenty-four
hours-provided, that people believe
in the ability and willingness of the
projectors to do what it is said can
be done. We have had so many
schemes and plans submitted for AS
toria's approval and Astoria's 'subsi-
dizing that Astorians are a little chary
IN taking hold OF this matter. But
that Astoria is willing to do its share
and what should reasonably be ex-
pected of it in this regard The Asro-
RIAN believes.

ADVERTISING OURSELVES
ABROAD.

ONE of the best means Of advertis-
ing a city is to send the papers
published in it abroad Upon this
subject the Tacoma Ledger thus dis
courses: 1T is doubtful if occa-
sional publications in the eastern
prints have the virtue ascribed to
them. The readers" of the great
dailies are multifarious, and the
journals are gotten up to cater to all
manner of individual tastes and in
terest. The fnancier reads mainly
the monetary news; the youth the
base ball departments; the sport
finds his level in the sporting col
umns; the maiden and matron are
entertained with society gossip or
the latest fashions; the merchant,
the mechanic, the professional man, all
look for and find that which most
directly interests him.. An adver-
tisement of the whereabouts, re-
sources and prospects of a city
published in a foreign newspaper
does not bring in those returns
which the circulation abroad of @
local newspaper does, and for the
reason that to the intendant emigrani
from a neighborhood there is moth.
ing that is read with so much avidity
as a journal published in a country
to which his eyes are longingly
cast. Every advertisement is read,
every local hint conveyed is scanned
and treasured and in turn the paper
is sent to relatives and friends, un til
it is thumbed beyond all recogni-
tion. A large proportion OF the new
comers to Tacoma have been brought
to the Sound through local newspaper
influence. The Ledger mentioned q
case the other day where a firm of
large manufacturers stated they
were induced to leave Chicago and
settle here through the Ledger alone,
which they have read more regularly
than their own Chicago papers. And
in passing we may state they have
not been sorry for the change, as they
have been overwhelmed with business
since their location. 1t will pay any
community in the territory to pur-
chase large editions of home papers
as is done in California, for distribu-
ton in the Libraries, hotels and rail,
road depots of the east The result
Of such policy, as has been demon
strated over and over again, would re.
suit in the bringing of population
to this favored land that nothing else
could, and prosperity would bless
every one for the insignificant out
lay"

Nor the least among the benefits Of
the "boom" to California, will be the
result of breaking up the big grants
and making them into small farms
for settlers and homes and churches
and schools and modern civilization.
Even now one can ride all day at a
good rate of speed behind two horses
in southern California and camp at
night on the same tract, hundreds of
thousands of acres held by one owner,
untaxed, except at nominal figure, and
useless to anyone. 1t is such i'm
mense tracts that under increased
values and the stimulation of land
seeking, will be cut up and made at
tractive by permanent residents.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-Nearly 1000
members of the Evangelical Alliance
called at the white house this afternoon
to pay respects to the President and Mrs.
Cleveland. They were presented to the
president and Mrs. Cleveland by VIM. E.
Dodge, president of the alliance. Mr..
Dodge made a brief address and closed by
urging the president to cooperate with
the alliance in the cause OF Christianity.
The president replied as follows: Il am
glad to meet SO large a delegation from
the Evangelical Alliance of the United
States. understand the purpose of the
alliance to be the application of Christian
rules of conduct to the problems aud ext
gencies of social and political life. All
must admit that inception of teaching
Christianity results in the purest patriot
ism, the most scrupulous fidelity to public
trust and the best type OF citizenship.
Those who manage the affairs of the
government are by this means reminded
that the law of God requires that they
should be co%urageously true tn the people
and the ruler Of universe will require a
strict account their stewardship. The
people, too, are thus taught that their
happiness and welfare will be best pro-
NOTED by Conscientious regard for the
interest OF common brotherhood and that
the success of a government by the peo-
pie depends upon the morality, Justice
and honesty Of the people. | am espec-
pecially pleased to know that your eff
torts are not cramped and limited by de-
nominational lines. There is enough of
Of work in the field you have entered to
enlist the hearty co operation of all who
believe in the value and efficacy ofChrist-
ian teaching and practice
Your noble mission will surely arrest
the attention and respectful consideration
of your fellow citizens, and your endeav-
ors, consecrated by benevolence and pa
triotic love, must exert a powerful infu'
ence in the enlightenment and improve,
ment of our people in illustrating the
stability of our institutions and in ad
vancing the prosperity and greatness OF
our beloved land"
Rev. DR.. Burchard of New York, of
the Three Rs faEae, was among those
presented. The president recognized him
and, advancing towards him, said that he
was very glad to see him, whcreupon the
crowd of delegates broke II into
laughter.

he found a telegram on his desk from that
bank, saying that if Wiltshire was there
mex morning with 5000, 900 it would be
safe. That was where Kershaw & Co.
had their account. He told how Wiltshire,
Hopkins and he talked the matter over
and decided hey would save the bank.
Hopkins had a letter of credit drawn for
5000, 600 and four drafts on the Chemical
bank of New York for $l00,O 900. Will
shire was afraid to carry the money lest
it be attached, and it was arranged that
Gohr should go with him. Gohr was in
structed not to give up the money with
out a guarantee. Next morning he re-
peated this warning by telegram and was
answered that it was too late. He then
stopped payment on the drafts.
Harper became affected at this point,
and went on to say how he put all his
money into the bank to save it, only tc
see the other directors walk in and check
theirs out. Only Zimmerman, of all the
directors, offered any assistance. Then
the government came in and the end was
reached.
Counsel next asked in detail whether
he had ever had or ordered any wheat
transactions with various brokers in Chi
cago, naming them, and he returned the
same answer. In February, 1887, he had
a conversation with Hopkins about the
irwin, Green x Co. matter, aud told him
he thought it was dishonest. About the
1885, 900 transaction of the Fidelity bank
he had no knowledge whatever, until told
of it in jail at Dayton. Hopkins had
transactions through Hoyt with Kershaw
& Co., and he was trying to hedge against
our losses by Wiltshire.
Il loaned money to Hopkins said
witness, land paid drafts for him, but
used my own money and never took a
penny out OF the banks funds for this
purpose. Hopkins went in $4,000 with
another broker, and | helped him. This
was paid back and the money went into
the bank. This was also a hedging oper-
alton"
Witness was then examined as to the
assets of Swift iron and steel works, the
Riverside rolling mill firm of e. L. Har-
per & Co., and of himself, and said tina t
all the transactions of these firms and
companies with the Fidelity bank were
legitimate.
Mr.. Blackburn again asked him if he
had anything to do with Hopkins wheat
deals through Broker Hoyt. He answered
that he paid Hopkins drafts, but that he
did 1t to protect the bank.
Il was interested through HOPKINS to
that extent. We would first protect the
interests of the bank and after that, if
there was any profit left, it was to be di-
vided between Hopkins and myself"
Mr.. Blackburn asked: Did you at
any time have any intention in all these
transactions to defraud the bank or any
body else"
None in the world was the answer. F."
The cross-examination was brief. 1t
brought out the fact that he purchased a
certificate of deposit with his own checks,
which were not charged to his account.
Two or three other witnesses were called,
mainly to tell about Harper's assets, but
the government counsel dismissed some OF
them without cross-examination, or by
drawing from them some damaging test

Ireland Anxious for Peace.

GLASGOW, Dec. 9.-The delegates of
the Scotch Home Rule Union. who have
been making a tour of Ireland, have re-
turned, and report that the Irish people
are eager for peace. That their demands
are moderate, and hat the National
League is the chief agency for the main
tenance of law and order. They say they
are convinced that the Irish are home
rulers and not separatists. No one in

Comments On the Blaine Interview

NEW York. Dec. 9.-In commenting
on Blaine's message the Times says:
This, then, isthe sum of Blaine's policy.
and as he is the leader of the Republican
party at present it must be taken as the
policy of the Republicans until they re.
pudiate it, and it would be well for them
to hasten to do so. 1t is not a policy
they can go before the people with"
The Tribune says: Blame. in Europe,
speaks as an American. Cleveland, in
America, speaks as a British manufac-
turer anxious to be admitted without any
charge to a share of the best and largest
market in the world"
The World says: THE Maine states
mans interview is in fact a proclamation
that Blaine considers himself to be the
chosen champion of protection, and that
he Is ready to enter the presidential list
again as such. President Cleveland stands
for this purpose. Blaine comes forward
as the champion of the opposite idea.
The Democratic party could not ask for n
better issue"
The Sun says: IF Brother Blaine
entertains such loose notions of the rela-
tions between the federal government and
the states, it strikes us that he would be a
conspicuously unfit person to entrust with
the management of the nations financial
affairs"
The Chicago Tribune, commenting ed
i~torially on Blaine's message, says:
Blaine. as might have been expected,
has presented high tariff protection from
a partisan point of view. As an opposi-
ton issue 70 the president views on tariff
reduction, Blaine's interview will have 10
stand upon Its merits and it will be in
dorsed or condemned in accordance with
the value of the arguments set forth, and
public judgment will not be influenced by
the distinguished name behind them. 1t
is the weakest ground Blaine has ever yet
occupied, and no national party can ex-
pect to go into the presidential campaign
on that issue, no matter who may be its
leader, and win. The surplus question
must be settled in some way, and in a dit
ferent way from what it has been settled,
1t cannot be settled in accordance with
the Blaine idea"

A Chance for Wyoming.

New YoKK, Dec. "a Boston dis
patch says: An eastern metal firm has of
fered to take the entire production OF all
copper mines in this country except the
Calumet and Hecla mines. for the ensuing
year at l53 cents per pound. The syndi-
cate apparently intends buying every ton
of copper until the market prices reach
$50 per ton. The extraordinary advance
in iron in Glasgow during the last three
days has, according to private cables, had
the effect of arousing speculative spirit to
an extraordinary pitch on the other side.

A Scare in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Dec. 9.-The authorities at
the county Jail are said to be much wor
ried over the discovery of the possession
OF contraband articles by prisoners. Fol-
lowing the sensation caused by the Lineg
bombs and the Engel poison, is is now as
serted that one OF the most desperate
criminals in the jail was discovered the
other day to have in his possession a re-
volver and ammunition. The jail author
sites suppress all information. but it is
asserted that there was a well conceived
plot to arm several noted criminals in the
Jail, when a plan would be carried ont for
escape, shooting down the guards if
necessary.
